Something isn't right with the ticket on-sale dates. American Express presale is listed twice. One says it starts tomorrow, March 2, and the other says March 6 which is the General Public on-sale date. And how can any presale start tomorrow if the tour hasn't even been announced yet?

---

 Plus... isn't she supposed to do an "Encore" Vegas run in Sept & Oct. And why perform at MGM instead of The Colosseum.

Plus if the Plains d'Abraham concert would be true, it would take place in July, not Sept...

European fans will be pissed lol

What European fans? lol Are there still fans in Europe? 

She could do some living room concerts in Europe. That's the only venue she would be capable of selling out here. They don't even play her on the radio here anymore. She is not menmtioned on TV. or in magazines.

Not a single word/promotion on the release of her live CD/DVD... no mention of her Vegas residency.

Every now and then I read something about Celine Dion's or Elton John's Vegas residency in magazines or newspapers but not a single mention of Shania here.

Her autobiography wasn't translated into other languages....

I guess she is not interested in being a global super star anymore.

Melanie I disagree with you there. If Shania announced a tour in Europe she could easily selll out arenas in Europe. I know as a fact she has tons and tons of fans in the u.k. and Germany and other countries still. People don't need to talk about an artist and she doesn't have to be in the news. If she announced a European tour I promise it would do great. And saying she could only doing living room concerts is quite understating the facts. You will be proven wrong once she tours Europe, She has tons and tons of fans still in Europe.

---

Yes, with new material and promotion she could easily sell out arenas, but not with the "Vegas on tour" show. The fans that still remain aren't the Facebook and Twitter generation. They are mostly old people and the few radio stations that still play her songs are radio stations that retirees listen to. She needs appearances on Euroopean TV shows. Her posts on social media won't sell out concert arenas.

It's a tour! Here are the "unofficial" cities and dates. Click to enlarge. ("Shania Twain US" on Facebook found the graphic somewhere.)

Since there isn't an official Fan Club anymore, I'm not sure how that presale works. It might be everyone on the ShaniaTwain.com mailing list.

---

I wonder if the reason the dates on this don't make sense is maybe because she was supposed to the promo stuff last week before the special on ABC aired but the weather was so bad and flights were cancelled that they had to push things back.  Kind of makes sense if you think about it.  The Eastern coast was shut down hard because of all the snow.  Maybe that is why she couldn't promote like she wanted to.  The weather. 

Just a thought,

Warmest regards as always,

Tonto

I still don't understand the purpose of even doing a mini tour now. She has no new material and is living off the past. To generate more excitement and interest she needs new material. I know there will be some who just want to see her live but it just seems totally odd to keep living off your old songs that Mutt and you created together. Sure everyone loves hearing the old songs on tour but with a mixture of new exciting material. I personally can't get excited about any tour she does now with no new material. That is my opinion.

I agree. I'm not excited about the tour but I'll go to her concert here in Atlanta. What the heck. 

---

 yea i probably would go too if my city was one of the cities on the schedule lol but it isn't on that so called fake list lol   But we need  a whole album of new songs.

Honestly, I would love to see her on tour where she performs some of her older songs that she kind of breezed over. When I saw her on the Up Tour, she did MAYBE four songs - Up, Getcha, Pretty Face, and maybe Forever and For Always - from the album. She was promoting a 19-track album and only performed a few of the songs. I'd like to hear some of the other stuff from Up - maybe Nah, Thank You Baby, Jealous, When You Kiss Me, etc. She could do an exciting tour with her old material IMO, it would just have to be different from her Up Tour and the Vegas show.

---

 you are kidding me right? you would rather her perform old songs that we have heard thousands of times over whether on tv or live performances than some new exciting material?   You are in the minority i would say  but you are entitled to that opinion. We all love to hear some of our favorite songs of Shania but not a whole tour of it lol The majority of people want new songs to learn and listen to and get excited about. This is the same reason i was not excited about the Vegas show at all. She is living off the past and not moving forward  but that is her choice and i accepted that long ago. I was in Vegas a few times since she played there and i went to see her once and it was a good  but once is enough. As a fan i am tired of her living off her old songs. She should of moved on long ago but i accepted that she wouldn't a few years ago. Her last studio album was when she was 37 years old. She will be 51 by the time she releases new music. Oh well i guess as a fan i just wanted her to prove she can do it on her own and not wait over a decade to even start anything.  We will see what happens but not looking forward to this so called exciting news unless it was a new album.

 Would I like to hear new material? Yes. Is she going to release new material before she tours again? Absolutely not. But she has a pretty extensive back catalog she could use to change up her act. It's great to want new material, and I certainly do, but I'm not holding my breath. Plus I was 11(?) when she toured last. It would be really gravy to see her as an adult.

 To each their own.

I just noticed something. The countdown clock on the splash page is wrong. It's almost 6:00pm ET and the countdown is at T-minus 15 hours. It should say 13 hours because "Good Morning America" starts at 7:00am ET. So the countdown clock is 2 hours off.

Shania Twain seems set to stride the stage at equestrian park

By Lynn Saxberg | Ottawa Citizen | March 2, 2015

Is Shania Twain coming to Ottawa?

The country diva is on a media blitz this week, dropping hints that she’s set to make a big announcement on Wednesday. Speculation is that she will be announcing a major tour, her first in more than a decade.

At the same time, Wesley Clover Parks, the redeveloped Corkstown Road facility formerly known as the Nepean National Equestrian Park, is holding a media conference on Wednesday to make a major concert announcement.

Considering the timing, and Shania’s lifelong love of all things horsey, a huge outdoor show at the equestrian centre looks like a sure bet this summer. If confirmed, it would be Twain’s first Ottawa appearance since 2003.

For Twain, who’s sold more than 75 million albums and is considered the biggest-selling country female artist in history, the expected tour will be the centrepiece of a long-anticipated comeback. Twain hasn’t released a new album since 2002’s Up!, but she has been performing in recent years. A two-year residency at Las Vegas’s Caesar Palace wrapped up in December.

By all accounts, the Vegas show, Shania: Still The One, was a lavish affair, complete with two trained horses, a flying motorcycle, a campfire, a snowstorm and plenty of hits, including You’re Still the One, That Don’t Impress Me Much and Man! I Feel Like a Woman, to name a few. Highlights from the show were broadcast as a primetime television special on Feb. 28 that drew an estimated 2.5 million viewers. The production is also the subject of Twain’s new live CD/DVD package, also titled Shania: Still The One Live From Vegas, in stores March 2, her first new product since a 2004 greatest hits album.

Despite the blitz, there are no guarantees that Twain will be able to recapture her share of the country market. Although country is hot right now, it’s attracting a new generation of fans who are going for  bro-country artists like Florida Georgia Line, Luke Bryan and Brad Paisley and pumped-up songs about girls, trucks and partying. It may be a challenge for Twain, a mom who turns 50 this year, to break into the new-country boys club with her anthems of female empowerment.

But if she can do it anywhere, it will be on home turf. Raised in Timmins, Twain overcame the odds to become the Juno-winning darling of the Canadian industry, earning multiple double-diamond certification for album sales of more than two million copies. She’s a member of the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, Canada’s Walk of Fame and received the Order of Canada.

Her second album, The Woman in Me, which came out 20 years ago, first rocked the country world with a sassy mix of upbeat country and pop-rock. It was co-written and produced by her then-new husband, hit-making rock producer Robert ‘Mutt’ Lange, a reclusive genius who was better known for his work with acts like AC/DC, Def Leppard and Bryan Adams.

Twain’s next two albums, 1997’s Come on Over and 2002’s Up!, both produced by Lange, were also hugely successful. The couple made their home in a castle in Switzerland.

In 2001, Twain and Lange had a boy they named Eja. A few years later, though, they divorced after Lange allegedly had an affair with Twain’s best friend. In a soap-opera-like twist, Twain later married the ex-friend’s ex-husband.

In her 2011 memoir, From This Moment On, Twain describes falling into a depression after her divorce. She developed a condition called dysphonia, a disorder of the voice. In her case, she believed stress and anxiety caused the muscles around her vocal chords to tighten. She underwent therapy to treat it, and was in top form throughout the Vegas run.

On a break from Sin City, Twain tested the comeback waters last summer with two sold-out, outdoor concerts at the Calgary Stampede and one in P.E.I. Although she has yet to release a new studio album, Twain told the Calgary Herald last year that she’s writing all the time. “I’ll be in the studio as soon as I can get my ducks in a row,” she said.
